Super Post. I Railfan the CE&D often and was just in these places,minus Evanville and Clinto last Sunday. Thanks for the share as it adds more history to what I know of the line. :)
Excellent. Good job here. You can tell they were rolling at track speed on most of these as they look like model trains that were flung about. That one at Sullivan with the engine turned back around the way it was coming from is really a sight.
Saw two derailments here in So Texas along the line between Laredo and Corpus Christi. One was at a sharp curve before a crossing, someone had a hot hand on the throttle and 3 grain cars spilled over, damaging two others. Whoops. One other was either worn trackage or a soft spot in the rail bed and the track buckled, causing a set of bogies to slip off right when they started to move it. No biggie, but it closed crossings for a few miles up and down the track.
@ 2:27...that flip was just a matter of time....look at how close that rail is to the embankment...any heavy rain can make that area of soil soft and the weight of the locos can make them flip to the side...just as it is shown in this video.
thats my uncle and soon me your talking about... in my state MD and surrounding DE, VA, and PA CSX has the lowest derailment/accident check up out of all of the railroads in these states the ratio is 14.5:1 for every 14.5 trains delivered... 1 has some kind of accident and the ratio is rising
So, was the one after 1:00 CAUSED by the semi truck, or was it just in the wrong place at the wrong time? And what happened with the "Decker IN 2003" one? I've tried everything, but all I can find is these same photos listed at "South Decker switch, IN, Feb 2003". Nothing at all about what happened.
Wow, Brian... You sure have seen a lot of derailments over the years, haven't you? How many have occurred behind your farm that you remember? Awesome compilation of photos set to a very interesting musical score. Fav'd and Shared.
@estesoyojajaja I don't know. I do not have any of those. You might be talking about the pictures from the Clinton, Indiana wreck back in '82 in the video.
It looks like not all of these derailed trains had the 2 inch raise liped wheels that I invented in the mid 1960s at Mt. Clemens Mi. They certianly should consider them now in past tence for the future.
I thought the same thing. "For a few dollars more" Clint Eastwood jumping up behind the train to say..."Fist full of dollars" Spaghetti Western music just doesn't seem to go with train derailments...unless they are Shooting at each other.
Very well put together but on a more serious note derailments ARE serious. Things along the epic fail/win are more over an amusement for others watching people doing dumb things or people doing awesome things. It should be noted that these kind of fails have taken lives, seriously injured others and caused thousands of dollars in damage. It is something not to be taken lightly.
bullet train Just look at any modern train wheel and you see a 2 inch raised lip on the inside of each wheel. Compared to the old wheels before I invented raised lip they were only convex and concave surfaces for the wheel and rail and no 2 inch lip meaning trains would literally fall off the rails at any time and did all to frequently. There were 3 derailments when I traveled from ft lauderdale fla. to Port huron mi. in 1963. My invention allowed my invention of high speed rail.
+Gregory Ferguson Most trucks on the road can go over 70. However many companies are governing them down to save on fuel. Dont think to many freight trains maintain 70 mph
The main reason for all these derailments is the piddly little 4' 8.5'' gauge that the US and most of the world uses! The rolling stock is usually about 8' wide so with the slightest problem, the frikin trains topple over! Back in the England where railways were invented, the government should have gone with the far more stable BROAD GAUGE of that brilliant engineer Brunel and damn the extra cost of the wider tunnels. Long term, it would have cost FAR less in trouble and peoples lives lost!
The present US rail widths were invented by me in around 1964 as a kid on the tracks that was suposed to be in trouble. I widended them about 18" cpmpared to what they were and standardized the gauge so all railroads could interlink without unloading and reloading when changing railroads. I invented the larger 8 wheel boxcars also and improved railroad crossing signs and gutters for the 2" lips when going over roads. Without the 2 lips I also invented youd have a real railroad carnage. Most derailments non intentional are caused by faulty breaks and rotted railroad ties and taking corners to fast. With the 2" lips I created the japaneese bullet train
Michael Thomas If by 2'' raised lip, you mean the FLANGED WHEEL, Thomas; they've been used since William Jessop's time in the 18th century! So, I guess you live in a little fantasy world, where you can pretend to be someone important?
Well my memory ends at birth in late 1953 but ive got several people that say no there was no railroad until I invented it in 1954 along with buses and airplanes and ships as a 1 year old its all run back in time to cheat the true conciever. In around 1964-66 I invented the 2" raise flanged or liped wheel with improved radius and standardized gauge worldwide and widened the the rails and created new holddown hardware and rail corssing improvements and new 8 wheel box cars this allowed my invention of the 150 mph japaneese bullet train and high speed rail.
Sorry about that narrower gauge James I was redesigning the railroad as a 12 year old suposedly in trouble with the railroad. That was about as wide as I could go using the existing railroad tie length or the cost would be too high
You got that right. However, you can't beat the RR's on bulk commodities like grain & coal. BTW, keep your Pete, I'll stick with my good 'ol R Model Mack! ;)
I agree with you on the "bulk commodities." They have the trucks hands down on that and I'd rather see that kind of stuff on the rails. Can't knock the Macks. That's what I started out on in the mid sixties. They put me on a B model duplex first trip. Just thankful they didn't put me on a "triplex." LOL
Eagle One Oh boy! Also in the shifting instructions they tell you to stick your other arm through the steering wheel so you can shift with BOTH hands! That was back before lawyers and it took a real man to drive a truck!
10 years later of watching as a kid. So nostalgic.

Super Post.
I Railfan the CE&D often and was just in these places,minus Evanville and Clinto last Sunday.
Thanks for the share as it adds more history to what I know of the line. :)
I don't really like derailments, but the music is fantastic ;)
1:43 ... That U-boat looked like it was thinking about submerging, lol.
Awesome video and great pictures, the music went good with the video great job.
Good video, the pictures remind me of the many derailments I worked over the years
Quite an interesting compilation. A lot of us thought MILW 1003 had crashed in Iowa but I see otherwise. Great angles on the big hook scenes
Excellent. Good job here. You can tell they were rolling at track speed on most of these as they look like model trains that were flung about. That one at Sullivan with the engine turned back around the way it was coming from is really a sight.
Great music from the good the bad and ugly
OMG ! great choice in music fffffantastic The good , bad , and the ugly...
Wonderful video! Sin of the trains!
great vid and dig the hell outta the music.
This is like the best!!! great music to take you the carnage!
Awesome post. I hope nobody got hurt.
Great pics and music.
awesome footage what a mess a derail can cause
Great choice of music!
Anyone else watch this growing up as a kid cause I did
That was an interesting video, I'm glad I wasn't on one of them.
exellent song from an exellent movie!
Damn, 0:37 It Literally Pulled The Whole End Of The Car Off. lol
Great! Thank You!
I love this music
Good music I like it!
Richard Saia music?
@bstiff929 Always liked the song and thought it would work for this.
Thanks
Spooky music eh ! One can almost see the ghosts spooking around.
2:43 i like how the sand from the sand hatches is draining
What is a "raised lip[p]ed" wheel?
How would it prevent or diminish derailments?
very good music
Yes, the semi flatbed was stuck on the tracks and the loco went up and over it. The one at Decker was caused by a burned off axle.
Saw two derailments here in So Texas along the line between Laredo and Corpus Christi. One was at a sharp curve before a crossing, someone had a hot hand on the throttle and 3 grain cars spilled over, damaging two others. Whoops.

What was the name of the song it was cool
Great Video, but must have cost millions of dollars to repair
Ectasy of Gold goes good with the video
j snidow do I hear a slight reference to Metallica my friend (of misery)

I've herd this music before I like hearing it.
What a mess to clean up!
Wow, Brian... You sure have seen a lot of derailments over the years, haven't you? How many have occurred behind your farm that you remember? Awesome compilation of photos set to a very interesting musical score. Fav'd and Shared.
The score was the last song in the Clint Eastwood western The Good, bad & ugly.
Have you watched the good, the bad, the ugly?
Every time i hear this song it reminds me of this video.
Same
@SFLRailFan No derails at the farm but north a bit and south a piece there have been accidents. Two big derails in years past but no photos. :( Thx
@estesoyojajaja I don't know. I do not have any of those. You might be talking about the pictures from the Clinton, Indiana wreck back in '82 in the video.
what is the number for the wrecked mlw uint
ahh. the ecstasy of gold ....love it or die
I miss the milwaukke road

Uncle Paul from O&A XM 105 says hi.
I realize there is the bad and the ugly in this video - where's the good????
@1:04 Who needs rails lol
Causes?
@richardsautomotive Oh yeah!! Good movie.
what only photos
You live in Indiana feller?
Ennio Morricone!
And thats why you use cone shaped wheels

this music belongs in a football commercial. oh wait....
What cause derail in linden Indiana 1987

at 0:57......get of the bus comn home from school...o cool CSX got a line in the street..sweet
this is one as my picture
WHAT IS THIS SONG CALLED?
+trains games and blogs "The Ecstasy of Gold", composed by Ennio Morricone

i.n. does not see stuff like that any more
FOR ALL DERAILMENTS IT HAS A CAUSE THAT IT HUMAN ERROR OF SOME SORT FROM SOME WHERE THEY COULD HAVEBEEN PREVENTED
что за музыка звучит в ролике7 ОЧЕНЬ КРАСИВАЯ МЕЛОДИЯ!
THIS IS NOT MUCH OF A WONNDER THE SHAPE THE TAIL ROADS ARE IN
Music name?
The ecstacy of gold - L'estasi dell'oro by Ennio Morricone
The good bad and the ugly....
What's the name of the music
"L'estasi dell'oro ( Dal Film "Il buono, il brutto e il cattivo" )" by Orchestra di Bruno Nicolai
Thanks
ECTASY OF GOLD from THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY.
The music track is called "Plug yer ears or hit the mute button!"
Wheres Tuco? Maybe he's responsible for this derailment.
Daar is iets goed mis gegaan.
WTF is this? I could just google train derailment and see all these pictures. UA-cam is for videos, not for slideshows
I live in indiana
and see gevos mostly
музыка какая страшная! прям из какихто вэсторнов
Trains are faster than a trucks haul more than a truck and faster to trucks cannot go 70 mph
+Gregory Ferguson Most trucks on the road can go over 70. However many companies are governing them down to save on fuel. Dont think to many freight trains maintain 70 mph
call markapla
What cause train wreck Clinton Indiana 1984
sad
But enough of this palaver- Let's get this show on the road
And then Rage against the train comes on
